Embarked on July 19, 1942 for our 8th patrol.

We chased a Liberty Ship around grid quadrant ED96, before finally sinking it with 3 torpedoes. However, we wasted nearly a third of our eels trying to sink her.

The next day we found a much better target. A Large Troopship. We sank her with 4 torpedoes, we surfaced to watch her sink but we were caught on the surface by two Avenger aircraft, we sustained minor damage from the attack.

We decided to head home, having completed our objective and we only had two torpedoes in the aft tubes, saving them if we needed to use them for self-defense.

We are now embarked on the return voyage.
